Hello list, I am really despaired! Due to a defective RAM, my /usr was corrupted, and so I had to reinstall the system from scratch. I installed debian/testing completely new (except /home, which is on a separate partition). As I am courious, I saved my package list by dpkg --get-selections > package.txt, and after the fresh installation, I could reinstall them again. I did this with the command: apt-get install $(cut -f1 package.txt), which worked fine.
But after that, I got a problem, and now working for hours to solve it: As I am using kdm (and kde), I get an error: kdm: :0[21175]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Succes I can click it away, and I can use kde without any trouble. Ok, to see, what hapend, I examined the log and found more information: May 29 09:33:43 localhost console-kit-daemon[22438]: WARNING: polkit_authority_get: Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success So it looks like, there might be some authorization problem. I googled a lot, but found no usefull hints. Somebody solved it, by "unmerging glib- networking", but that was in gentoo. I will be very happy, if someone could help me, as I there is not much information about consolekit and dbus to find. Thank you very much for any help. Best regards Hans-J. Ullrich P.S.
